Spain v Poland Live Commentary, Jun 19, 2021

Poland were underwhelming in their opening match of the Euros and were beaten by Slovakia courtesy of a second-half goal from Milan Skriniar. Robert Lewandowski barely had a kick, although he and his team-mates were not aided by Grezgorz Krychowiak's dismissal, which allowed Slovakia to take control of the contest. Paulo Sousa and his men have to produce a positive result tonight otherwise their last-16 hopes will be slim to say the least.

Spain were frustrated in their opening match of the tournament against Sweden after being held to a goalless draw in Seville. La Roja were predictable at times in their approach and lacked a clinical edge.
